under president obama we've had four straight years of trillion dollar deficits. our debt is over $16 trillion. we're selling the next generation's future. many of our democrat colleagues don't get it. through the fiscal cliff discussion the president and the democrats who control washington refused to take any meaningful steps to make washington live within its means. that is irresponsible and fails to acknowledge what every family already knows. when you have no more money in your account and your credit cards are maxed out then the spending must stop. that is the situation faces america. we must identify responsible ways to tackle washington's wasteful spending. so when the house returns with the 113th congress our resolution is clear. we're committed to making our economy stronger and healthier. we're going to fight wasteful washington spending and deliver the accountable you demand. we call on the president and democrats to join us in that fight. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> coming up on c-span the communicaters look at major t
